Well, KDE's Bugzilla instance has a wizard interface for filing bugs and it
also shows a list of existing bugs which it may be a duplicate of (based on
keywords in the subject).
Their customizations can be found at:
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/bugs/3.2/
(I wish the RH customizations were published in a similar way. They had
promised getting them into Fedora at some point, but that never happened,
the bugzilla package now in Fedora is a plain vanilla Bugzilla maintained
by a community volunteer.)
